What do you TOW with your Tundra?

Thanks for the info. So you no longer tow in Drive with Tow/Haul engaged any longer you stay in S5-S4 only (and while in those modes is Tow/Haul button pushed?)

 

No, I used to pull the trailer (before ATF cooler install) in T/H and S4/5. Now (after install) I tow it in T/H and D and don't worry about it.

 

Ditto on the comfort level.
I was a little concerned about leaks as well but as the weeks passed it all turned out good. If nothing else the coolers certainly can’t hurt since heat is the transmission’s biggest enemy.

 

Gotcha. I don’t have the trans cooler so I guess toggling between S4/5 is my best bet and do you still engage tow/haul mode in those gears?

 

Yes, before the cooler I still used T/H with S4 and S5. Some people on here have claimed that T/H doesn't work unless you are in D. I have found it to still be very effective, particularly in throttle response. One time we stopped at a rest area and upon leaving, I put it in S4 but forgot to put it back in T/H mode. As I accelerated back onto the freeway, for a moment I thought there was something wrong with the truck as it was so sluggish! Then I realized T/H was not engaged and the problem was fixed!

 

Thanks again Sir

 

I feel the same way from an aesthetic standpoint, they're just not as sleek as OEM mirrors. The functionality is second to none though, the visibility is absolutely incredible while towing, and even around town. Your blind spot ceases to exist.

Loaded up for a weekend of fun.

 

While I was towing my Grand Design 2800BH East on 90 near Syracuse, NY yesterday, I saw a silver 2nd gen double cab long bed towing a Grand Design Reflection 5th wheel heading westbound.

Not sure if they are here or not, but it was the first time I've seen these connected to a 5th wheel in person. Truck looked tiny, but somehow, level.

 

Got a link for the cooler? I like how perfect the fit is.

Check out the FB Tundra Grand Design haulers group. People doing all kinds of stupid shit. I bugged out it got so rediculous.

 

Yeah, no. I can't. 1) it's FB, and 2) it sounds like it is everything I find annoying about FB, only involving 2 of my favorite possessions.

 

Just a friendly reminder to be prepared with a spare(s) for your trailer. My best guess is these are bias ply and didn't do well with the extended highway driving, so I have some radials on order. I didn't know there were different kinds of tires for different trailer applications.

Thats one beefy Taco

 

Working at my construction job today and hauled my 3,000# trailer 40 miles with a ton or two of trim for a log house we're building. On the way back I picked up a skidsteer(7,000#) and hauled it 15 miles.

 

Tow my tundra with another tundra

 

Looks like we have the same exact trailer, offset license plate light and all. Drives me crazy.

Tow my drift car

 

Took an airstream base camp x up to the sequoia national forest. About 5 hours from where I live. Tundra towed amazing with a full trailer including fresh water, two coolers and a bin full of camping stuff. Gas mileage doesn’t change much from driving without a trailer unless going up hills. Truck has nitro 5.29 gears.

 

Tonight I picked up 10 water heaters to bring to the scrap yard on lunch tomorrow. Trailer weighs 2550, and somewhere between 1500-2000lbs of water heaters. First time towing this much with this truck(I know it’s not a lot) towed much better than my old 2017 Silverado did.

Towed it for a 3 hr drive, my long tube was exhaust was singing

 

The GeoPro, as much as I love it, has gotten a bit small for the family, so we put down a deposit yesterday on a 2022 Flagstaff MicroLite 25BRDS. Should bring it home in a few days!

 

Looks very similar to our Coachmen Freedom Express 25SE.

 

Yes, very much like a 25SE, except with a front murphy bed. I'm feeling a little intimidated by the larger size but I should get used to it quickly. I may need to modify my carport to get it to fit. I think the new one is about a foot taller than the GeoPro, but I only have about 8 inches of clearance above the roof. I need to extend the carport legs a bit.

 

My wife was adamant about no Murphy bed and a separate bedroom. Having that couch and the extra space is nice, though.

 

The funny thing is when we bought the GeoPro we were against the murphy bed option, but now, we've changed our minds. We really want that seating space.
